If God exists, why did he create life? (The nature of a \'Creator\')

Not debating the finer points of your comment, as you are undoubtedly correct in pointing out my misuse of terminology. However, are you saying that are over use of medication has had no impact on viruses and bacteria, forcing them to mutate into strains or organisms that are more resilient and deadly? Or perhaps you think that humans would have contracted a virus found natively only in Rhesus(sp?) monkey's had we not been poaching or otherwise doing things we ought not to them? Perhaps the spread of HIV around the globe was not due to poor human decisions either? Biological warfare doesn't exist either, I suppose. I mean, rational humans would never develop a virus or other biological to wipe out other humans, I'm sure those all occurred naturally in their weaponized (and deadlier) form.-I'm not debating most of your points. they are true enough. I'm simply pointing out that overuse of antibiotics, by definition, produces bacteria that are antibiotic resistant. Possibly the bacteria that are eradicated by antibiotics leave an open field for viruses to have some fun and do some more mutating on their own, leading to more virulent viruses, but that is only a theory. Antibiotics do not change the virulence of bacteria, just their resistance to therapy.-There is a tone of sarcasm or hostility in the rest of your paragraph. Is that correct, or is this the way you like to come across?
